I'm very glad to have something to be passionate about. I can't imagine a life without passion.

Self confidence for me is a fragile fleece.

I am a divorced child, of divided, uncertain background. Within this division I - supposed fruit of their love - no longer exist. It happened nearly forty years ago, yet to me nothing is sadder than my parents' divorce.

I'm very glad to have something to be passionate about. I can't imagine a life without passion.

Men still assume I must be like the girl I played in 'Emmanuelle.' John Wayne was never accused of killing people during his free time, but I'm forever stuck with the image of 'Emmanuelle.' The truth is, I should have got an Oscar for that role because I'm nothing like that woman.

I love to invent - avoiding the truth. I need to dramatize.
